Meet Candis, the driving force behind AM8ZE, a company built to bridge the gap between mere digitisation and true business liberation. Her insight came from witnessing how many firms automate inefficiencies without rethinking foundational processes—and she resolved to build technology that elevates human potential rather than just replace it.
At AM8ZE, Candis leads with a people-first philosophy: before writing a single line of code, she immerses in her clients’ daily realities. By doing so, she ensures that transformation is meaningful, adoption is seamless, and outcomes are tangible—leading organisations toward digital mastery, not just digital presence.
What inspired you to start AM8ZE and how did you identify the gap between digitalisation and truly liberating businesses?
When I founded AM8ZE, it came from years of watching businesses “digitise” or “digitalise” without truly transforming. Many were simply automating old inefficiencies rather than rethinking how technology could free people to do more meaningful work.
I saw a gap between digitisation, digitalisation and liberation — between ticking boxes for transformation and actually creating value. AM8ZE was born to bridge that gap — to use automation and AI not just to cut costs but to liberate human potential and simplify how businesses operate every day.
Today, AM8ZE is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 accredited, Data Protection Trustmark certified, and listed on the IRAS Accounting Software Register Plus. As an IMDA InvoiceNow-ready ERP provider and a Pre-Approved PSG software vendor, we stand at the forefront of secure, compliant, and future-ready digital transformation—empowering Singapore enterprises to work smarter and lead confidently in the digital age.
AM8ZE is positioned as a Business Transformation Specialist first and a Tech Builder second. Can you explain how this people-first approach sets you apart from other tech providers?
Most tech firms start with the system. We start with the people — the way they think, work and make decisions. Our process begins with understanding the business intent and day-to-day realities before we even discuss the technology stack.
That means our solutions are designed to fit the organisation, not the other way around. This people-first approach keeps adoption high, change smooth and outcomes tangible. It’s not about selling software — it’s about enabling success.
What are the most common business challenges you see in Singapore and how does AM8ZE tackle them?
Many SMEs in Singapore don’t lack technology — they struggle with too many fragmented systems and short-term digital fixes. Over time, adopting separate tools for accounting, HR, and CRM may solve immediate problems but creates silos, duplication, and integration headaches.
At AM8ZE, we address this by helping companies digitalise intelligently, not incrementally. We design unified digital ecosystems where every process—from Sales to Finance to Operations—connects seamlessly and scales naturally toward automation and AI.
Our modular tech stack is flexible and right-sized for each client. Instead of one-size-fits-all Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), we tailor what’s relevant, ensuring investments go toward features that truly add value.
This way, clients avoid unnecessary costs while gaining a cohesive, future-ready ERP, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and AI platform.
Meeting leaders across different forums has been a humbling reminder that true leadership isn’t about titles but about the courage to lead with purpose and heart.
Your platform blends RPA and AI-enabled intelligence into everyday workflows. Could you share a real-world example of how this has transformed a client’s operations?
At AM8ZE, we often meet companies using multiple standalone tools—one for finance, one for HR, another for inventory or production—loosely “connected” through APIs. While this may look digital, it often creates silos, duplicated data, and constant IT dependency just to stay aligned.
AM8ZE takes a different approach. Our unified ERP Suite, powered by RPA and AI, functions as one intelligent system where every module communicates seamlessly. Data flows automatically, decisions are smarter, and automation runs end-to-end across the enterprise.
For example, a client in wholesale and distribution was managing orders, inventory, and logistics across multiple platforms. Stock accuracy was inconsistent, reconciliations were manual, and delays were common. After implementing our solution, we unified their entire order-to-cash process.
RPA now automates purchasing and inventory updates, while AI forecasts demand and pricing. Managers track everything in real time through live dashboards.
The outcome: faster fulfilment, accurate stock levels, and full visibility of performance. This is not just digital connection—it’s digital cohesion that drives scalable growth.
Unlike API-linked systems that only connect tools, AM8ZE integrates intelligence—turning data into action, insight, and continuous optimisation. It’s the leap from digital adoption to digital mastery.
How do you personally balance being a visionary entrepreneur while also staying grounded in your clients’ everyday realities?
By listening — deeply. Every client conversation teaches me something new about the realities of running a business and likewise, our clients learn more about the digital tools in the market and how they are transforming and powering up businesses in new and innovative ways.
Vision is important, but if it doesn’t serve real-world needs, it’s just theory. I make it a point to stay involved during implementations — to see how our solutions actually impact people’s daily work. That keeps me grounded and reminds me why we started AM8ZE in the first place.
Meeting leaders across different forums has been a humbling reminder that true leadership isn’t about titles but about the courage to lead with purpose and heart.
How do you measure success?
Success, to me, isn’t just about revenue or project count. It’s about client transformation — when our clients tell us their teams are working smarter, not harder. We measure success by sustained adoption, operational efficiency gains and long-term partnerships.
When clients renew, expand and grow with us — that’s when we know we’ve done our job right.
What’s your vision for Singapore in the next five years?
Singapore is moving from digital adoption to digital maturity — and that’s where I see tremendous potential. I envision a business landscape where automation, AI and data-driven decision-making aren’t luxuries reserved for large corporations, but everyday tools empowering every SME to thrive, innovate and compete globally.
It’s also a future where robots are humanised and the human workforce is amplified by its digital counterpart — bots and humans co-existing in harmony, each enhancing the other’s strengths. Always rooting for Singapore enterprises, I hope to see more homegrown companies step confidently onto the global stage.
As digital boundaries fade and technologies like RPA and AI accelerate our reach, we have the chance to catapult Singapore’s innovation — and its people — to shine brightly on the world stage.
If you could have a superpower for one day, what would it be and why?
I’d choose the power to pause time — not to rest, but to listen longer. In business, the answers are often already there; we just move too fast to hear them. With that superpower, I’d take the time to reflect more deeply, connect more meaningfully and bring clarity to what truly matters amid the constant noise.
On a personal level, I’d use that extra time to be fully present with my family and loved ones — to listen, understand and appreciate the differences that make each person unique. In a world that’s always rushing forward, sometimes the greatest progress comes from simply pausing to connect.
